Re: [xsl] Resetting context to main document with "document()"?

["Joerg Heinicke" <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

That's really a big stylesheet with many document()'s. Can't you remove one
or another template to see where the 'trash' comes from?

Here an example:

file1.xml

<xml>
    <node name="a">123</node>
    <node name="b">456</node>
    <node name="c">789</node>
</xml>

file2.xml

<xml>
    <nodes>
        <c/>
        <a/>
    </nodes>
</xml>

XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
    <xsl:variable name="file1" select="/"/>
    <xsl:variable name="file2" select="document('file2.xml')"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select="$file2/xml/nodes/*">
            <xsl:variable name="name" select="name()"/>
            <xsl:for-each select="$file1/xml">
                <xsl:value-of select="node[@name=$name]"/>
                <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

789,123,

No trash, only the expected output. Maybe this helps a bit.
